Services provided in NHS hospitals are diverse ranging across specialist diagnostic procedures to complex and life-saving surgery to meet both planned and emergency needs. This publication provides a general overview of the use of hospital services for the financial year ending 2019/20 using routinely collected data. This overview is primarily based on the range of acute medical and surgical hospital services that are provided in Scotland and covers most of the inpatient, daycase and outpatient services used by patients. Additionally, there are sections on Accident & Emergency and Psychiatric activity. The overall expenditure associated with acute services is around £4.9bn, which represents around 41% of total NHS spend1. Admissions into maternity wards are not part of this report. As well as reporting on activity within 2019/20, some trend information highlighting changes in service provision over the past twenty years is also presented. Note that individual figures referred to throughout this report may not add up to totals, due to rounding. As well as this narrative, detailed information is given in a set of data tables which accompany this report and can be accessed here. These tables include statistical information on specialties, medical diagnoses, the number and type of procedures carried out, admission type i.e. elective/emergency admissions, length of stay, and bed statistics for NHSScotland. Information is available at NHS Board level, council and hospital level, as well as age, gender and the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) for selected data tables. COVID-19 On 1 March 2020, the first person in Scotland tested positive for COVID-19. On the 17 March NHS Scotland was placed on an emergency footing by the Cabinet Secretary. Since the start of the outbreak, Public Health Scotland (PHS) has been working closely with the Scottish Government and health and care colleagues to support the surveillance and monitoring of COVID-19 amongst the population. There is a large amount of data being regularly published regarding COVID-19 (for example, PHS weekly reports, including wider impacts analysis; Coronavirus in Scotland – Scottish Government and Deaths involving coronavirus in Scotland – National Records of Scotland). Please note this release includes the first month of Scotland going into emergency measures due to COVID-19. During this pandemic, NHS Boards, hospitals, and healthcare providers have been required to change their normal way of working to allow them to focus their efforts locally on their COVID-19 response. As such, this will have a direct impact on the volume of hospital activity and trends observed, for example reductions in elective admissions. In addition, some hospitals, and NHS Boards may also see more activity than others. 1 http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Finance/Costs/ The overall expenditure figure of £4.9bn refers to 2018/19 acute expenditure from the Cost Book (R310). The total NHS spend figure (41%) refers to 2018/19 expenditure from the Cost Book (R300) published in November 2019. 3 Public Health Scotland Background There are two broad ways in which patients access and make use of acute hospital services. The first is part of a planned or elective pathway of care which is normally initiated following a visit to the GP or other healthcare professional, and may result in a referral to see a consultant as an outpatient for specialist advice or diagnosis. This outpatient appointment may then result in an onward referral for further tests or admission into hospital for treatment. The second way in which patients make use of hospital services is as a result of an emergency referral either by a healthcare professional or directly by the patient themself. This may be via an Accident & Emergency department, directly to Ambulatory Emergency Care or to an Acute Assessment Unit, where it will be decided if the patient needs to be admitted to an inpatient ward; different models of emergency care are evolving to meet the challenge of increased complex cases and improved outcomes for patients. Further information on emergency admissions and unscheduled care can be found within this report, and within the Emergency Department Activity pages on the website. Within this report, the overview of outpatient activity and services is presented

A cardiac arrest is when the heart stops pumping blood around the body, commonly because of a problem with the electrical signals in a person’s heart. It is a significant healthcare challenge and addressing it is a priority for the Scottish Government. Throughout the last five years, the Save a Life for Scotland (SALFS) partnership has equipped over 640,000 people, around 11% of the population of Scotland, with CPR skills.

  • The Public Health Scotland Order 2019
    Final Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment Title of Proposal The Public Health Scotland Order(s) Purpose and intended effect Background The Scottish Government carried out a Public Health Review in 2015 (Public Health Review ) to examine public health systems and functions and their contribution to improving population health and wellbeing and reducing health inequalities. One of the recommendations was to undertake further work to review and rationalise organisational arrangements for public health in Scotland. This work should explore greater use of national arrangements, including for health protection. Objective The new public health model seeks to deliver better health and wellbeing outcomes for communities by promoting a collaborative approach to planning and delivery, putting decision making in the hands of local communities and agencies who are best-placed to assess local public health needs. At national level, a new Special Health Board (to be called Public Health Scotland) will provide strategic leadership; support enhanced opportunities for innovation, research, learning and development; and provide assurance on the delivery of improved public health and wellbeing outcomes. Under the new model, the bodies Health Protection Scotland (a division of NHS National Services Scotland (NSS)), Information Services Division (also a division of NSS) and NHS Health Scotland (a Special Health Board) will cease to exist. Public Health Scotland will take over their current functions and services from 1 April 2020. Public Health England has some health protection responsibilities related to Scotland, especially on chemicals, poisons, and radiation. The UK Government and the devolved administrations have designated Public Health England (PHE) to act as the National Focal Point (NFP) for all of the UK and only PHE should communicate directly with the World Health Organisation (WHO) on International Health Regulations 2006 matters.
